Next Gen Math

Supporting student learning through targeted mathematics practice, customized assignments, and progress monitoring.

What Is Next Gen Math?

Next Gen Math is an educational technology platform that provides mathematics resources to support teaching and student learning.

Educators can use Next Gen Math to create and assign mathematics activities that support classroom instruction and address individual student learning needs.

The platform also provides educators with student performance information that can be used to monitor progress and help guide future instruction and practice.

A Tool for Student Support

Students learn mathematics at different rates and may need different types of practice and support. Next Gen Math gives teachers additional tools to provide targeted learning opportunities based on student needs.

The program works alongside classroom instruction to provide additional practice, reinforcement, and opportunities for students to demonstrate their understanding.

How Next Gen Math Supports Learning

Customized Assignments

Teachers can create or select mathematics assignments based on classroom instruction, grade-level standards, and student learning needs.

Targeted Practice

Students can receive additional opportunities to practice specific mathematics skills and concepts.

Student Progress

Educators can review student performance information to understand areas of strength and areas where additional practice may be helpful.

Teacher-Guided Support

Teachers can use student learning information to help plan instruction, reteaching, intervention, and additional practice.

What Students May Experience

Depending on their grade level and individual learning needs, students may use Next Gen Math to:

Complete teacher-assigned mathematics activities.
Practice specific mathematics skills and standards.
Work on additional practice in areas that need reinforcement.
Receive feedback on their mathematics work.
Review mathematical concepts and strategies.
Demonstrate their understanding through assignments or assessments.

How Next Gen Math Works

Teachers Identify Learning Needs
Educators review classroom work and other available student learning information to identify skills that may require additional attention.
Teachers Assign Mathematics Activities
Teachers create or select assignments that support current classroom learning or target specific student needs.
Students Complete Their Work
Students complete assigned mathematics activities and practice the skills they are learning.
Teachers Review Student Performance
Educators review student results to better understand progress, strengths, and areas that may require additional support.
Instruction and Support Are Adjusted
Teachers can use the information gathered through student work to help determine appropriate next steps for instruction, practice, or intervention.

Mathematics Skills and Standards

Next Gen Math provides standards-based mathematics resources that educators can use to support students across different areas of mathematics.

Depending on grade level and instructional goals, students may work on skills involving:

Number sense and operations
Fractions and decimals
Algebraic thinking
Measurement and data
Geometry
Mathematical reasoning
Problem solving
Mathematical fluency

Monitoring Student Progress

Monitoring student progress helps educators understand how students are developing their mathematical skills.

Next Gen Math provides educators with information about student performance that can help identify areas of strength and areas where additional practice may be appropriate.

Teachers can use this information to help make instructional decisions and provide students with appropriate learning opportunities.

How Next Gen Math Works With Classroom Instruction

Classroom Learning

Students continue to receive mathematics instruction from their classroom teacher based on grade-level learning goals and standards.

Additional Practice

Next Gen Math can provide additional opportunities for students to practice and reinforce mathematical concepts.

Targeted Support

Teachers can assign activities that address particular mathematics skills or areas that need additional attention.

Progress Information

Student performance information can help educators determine appropriate next steps for learning and support.

Information for Families

Families are an important part of supporting student success in mathematics.

If your child uses Next Gen Math at school, assignments may focus on specific mathematics skills, standards, or concepts identified by the teacher.

Families Can Help By:

Asking your child about the mathematics they are learning.
Encouraging your child to explain how they solved a problem.
Encouraging persistence when mathematics is challenging.
Providing a quiet place for students to complete assigned work.
Communicating with your child's teacher when additional support or clarification is needed.
